MOUTH 

Turn on your Quirkbot by gently sliding 

the on-off switch to the right. The first 

time you do this, the Quirkbot will run 

its factory program and start blinking 

to say hello!

You can program Quirkbot’s built in 

LEDs – blue LEDs for eyes and two 

green LEDs for its mouth. In the box 

you will also find Dual Color LEDs you 

can place on the Arms, Legs, and Horn 

of the Quirkbot. These can be 

programmed to be blue or red.

BATTERY

The Quirkbot’s battery charges 

when connected by a USB cable to 

a computer or another power 

source like a phone charger. When 

the red LED turns off, the battery is 

fully charged.

The long lead of the LED goes 

on the front. Push it all the 

way down!

Put a straw over the LED 

and the Quirkbot arm. 

This will help keep the 

component in place.

Squeeze the leads gently 

together to make them 

grab the Quirkbot arm 

better.
